A fear that some of the language used during the debate on the issue of the "waterside letters" at* the fe'deration conference yesterday might not be fit for feminine ears. impelled the president, Mr. A. W. Croskery, to suggest that the women delegates present might withdraw. Some of the language used might be unsuitable for women to hear, said Mr. Croskery. All but one of the women then left the hall, temporarily, but later returned while Mr. Barnes was speaking. In Temporary Recess. The Levin Amateur Boxing and Physical Training Club advises in an advertisemen't today that owing to the Regent Hall being unobtainable for future use as a gymnasium, it will be forced to go into temporary recess. An official of the club said today that it was regretted that this steo had to be taken at a time when the club members would norma] ly be in training for the various tournaments and matchings with other club members. Every endeavour had been made to fin'd an alternative building in which to carry out training but with no success.
